can you update to the latest duplicity from backports (looks like 0.7.10 is available) and see if the error persists?

Hi Ede

On Wheezy backports that's the last version, I'll search to see if there is a .deb i can test, but as I recall there was a python issue with this version on Wheezy.

Thank's

Could you share the command line you use and a rough estimate of the
number of incremental backups you have.
